Severe knee pain..can anyone help?
You will probably need to go and see a physiotherapist. They will be able to assess your knee, and then they will be able to treat it according to the way that the injury manifested itself.
Unresolved severe knee pain... HELP!!!?
I have been going back and forth between Emergency Rooms and orthopedic surgeons with a knee that locks up and pops and now causes severe chronic pain and extreme swelling of the lower leg and foot. This all started the first week of October, it locked and popped a few times and there was pain but I could return to walking on it. My first emergency room trip got us a physical therapy referral, they thought it was a torn meniscus. PT made the pain worse which ended us back in the ER and a referral to an orthopedic surgeon. They did an MRI w/o contrast that showed nothing. We asked him why the knee was even locking and popping and painful. We got an "I don't know" and he referred us to a pain clinic. This is now the 3rd week of October, I can still walk on the knee with minimal pain. Saw the pain clinic doctor who suggested a sympathetic nerve block because they feel it is RSD. Had a total of 4 needles jammed in my back 5 inches deep with no sedation and had no pain relief. He then suggested gabapentin which I did not start taking because I am breast feeding a 3 month old. Then a week from this last Friday I locked the knee up entirely. It literally felt like my bones in the top of the lower leg and ligaments behind my paella were moving. Painful to the point I screamed straightening it. I went to the ER again and explained all of what had happened. They did an exam with full ROM and said to get to another surgeon because something was wrong. We scheduled with a different clinic hoping for a fresh perspective. Today the surgeon once again told me he didn't know what was wrong and said I needed to stretch it and a possible cortisone shot but he offered no other diagnostic help. When I asked about the swelling he said my ace wrap was too tight! I'm a strong girl but I know how to use an ace wrap and the foot and calf are swollen even after I take it off to sleep and in the morning. I am at my wits end and can't even walk on it anymore. I just want my life back. Please help!!!
HELP! Scraped knee, severe pain!?
It is probably scabbing over too quickly and can get infected underneath. You should get it very wet with soft, wet washcloths that you just lay on it gently, until it is softened and not sealed on top. Wash gently with soap and water, even though it hurts. Then put Hydrogen Peroxide or other disinfectant. You could put some ice in ziploc bag and hold that on it for a few minutes to ease the stinging. Keep it moist for a few days to let the pus out, I will suggest something unconventional but it works, put a thick layer of honey, and keep putting that on for the next few days. If its starts to get yellowish that's a sigh of infection. If the skin area all around the scrape is red and warm and keeps spreading more, that's a sign of infection. Yes its normal that it hurts so much - that's a bummer. Clean it again if you don't do anything else - you don't want an infection.
Sharp Knee Pain! Help.?
I'm not a doctor, so this coming just from my personal experience. It could be something as simple as an inflamed nerve or joint. More likely it's something like a torn meniscus (the cartilage in your knee joint) or even a torn or strained ACL or MCL. Given that it's already been a month or more since you started having the pain, you really should make an appointment to see and orthopedist. They can do and MRI and/or other tests to find out if it just needs rest or if you might need surgery. EDIT Another thought is that you could have a bone chip or something else floating around in your knee joint. For what it's worth, I have had surgery for both a torn ACL and a torn meniscus. The meniscus was just a scope where I when home the same day and was back to normal in a couple weeks. The ACL was a major surgery and it took close to 4 months to get back to normal.

My mom has a severe knee pain. It might be arthritis. Are there any natural remedies or over the counter medicine that can prevent surgery?
Anyone that tells you that natural remedies will work has no clue about the realities of arthritis. The few natural remedies that have any effect are generally too mild to be of significant value if the condition is bad enough to consider surgery.If it is severe enough to contemplate surgery they may attempt delaying tactics. There are real medicines that can be injected that will relieve inflammation and others that can be used to restore the cushioning material in the knee joint. These, in some cases, may provide relief that can last anywhere from a few months to a few years and can be done again when the pain returns. X-rays, ct scans or mri's will be used to determine if the procedure will be effective in your mother's case.You are assuming arthritis but that may not be the problem. Other conditions may cause similar pain. Some are less of an issue but others are worse. See a doctor and get a diagnosis. Wasting time treating the wrong problem while the real problem is getting worse is not a good idea. While it is unlikely to be cancer, the possibility does exist, and prompt treatment can make the difference between life and death.

I have severe knee pain and I am a Muslim that needs to pray, is it okay for me to sit and pray?
I guess the question is how much are you willing to suffer for your faith. In some faiths people will intentionally pray in painful or uncomfortable positions. My advice is to see a doctor get a professional opinion.
